About the Campaign

It all started with an idea: to embark upon an extraordinary fundraising quest that
would have the power to change the life of every Pepperdine student. More than just
new scholarships or facilities or research and programs, a dream was brought to life
to create a comprehensive campaign for Pepperdine whose impact could transform students
with every dollar given.

Between 2005 and 2014, that dream became a reality. Despite the worst economic recession
since the Great Depression and a downward trend in philanthropic support, alumni and
friends passionately gave millions of dollars to Pepperdine, enabling its bold vision
and unlocking new potential for an institution of higher learning.

Now, because of you, we've raised an unprecedented $470 million, empowering us to
impact every student and the communities they serve. We have secured our position
in the pantheon of higher education and, with your support, have forever elevated
our stature as a preeminent, global, Christian university. Thank you.
